Itinerary and highlights
Guests will depart from a designated collection point in Hoedspruit.
(If guests would like to be collected directly from their accommodation, they are requested to discuss this option with the Matumi Team prior to the safari) The Big 5 Morning Safari will have an estimated duration of 3.5 to 4 hours. Our guides will take you on a fantastic journey through the Big 5 wilderness. Guests will be driving in open safari vehicles and will have the chance to encounter Africa’s incredible animals up close. Guides do make use of designated radios to share animal and bird sightings with each other (this increases the chances of sightings for guests). During the safari, our guides will stop for coffee & tea and some light snacks. At these stops, guests can take a break from sitting in the vehicles. After your incredible safari, guests will return to the same designated place where the safari first departed from.
